Staffing Formula
A per capita formula allocates Flying Start staffing to each school based on
the number of Prep to Grade 2 students. The formula can be expressed as follows:
|
Allocation = |
E
´
M |
|
Where E
= |
total full-time equivalent enrolments
(Prep to Grade 2) |
|
M = |
a multiplier to distribute the available
teachers |
For 2006 the value of the per capita multiplier used to calculate the initial
allocations to schools, using predicted enrolments, is 0.007353. Not all of the
available quota is distributed by formula. The balance after the formula
allocations have been made is used to “top up” schools receiving an allocation
of less than 0.4 FTE.
